Under the bridge

bachscuttler · 7th of November 2006 (Tue)

Taken at the last Scottish POTN meet...the other twelve guys were stood on top of the bridge whilst I explored the light on the 'tunnel' under the bridge at the Falls of Bruar, Perthsire.

Nicely exposed/processed Steve. There is nice detail in the tunnel and in the trees beyond.

Ahh,is that what you were up to at the time mister?

Very well controlled expossure for an under a bridge shot i must say,cracking job Steve.

I must agree with those two. Exposure is perfect

The sunlight on the floor makes this shot. Too bad about the graffiti on the wall, though.

It sure is perfect and it looks to me like the typical kind of shot that's difficult to expose properly.

There are so many ways to get that shot wrong but you managed to get it right. I love the colors and the light, especially how it casts the trees shadows into the tunnel. Great detail too Steve.

Thanks all

There's no real way to get a perfect exposure in shot for a subject like this is there?

I blended two RAW shots, one exposed for the shadows, one for the highlights.

It was the light on the floor that drew me to the scene whilst the rest of the boys were pushing each other out of the way for a vantage point of the falls above.

yeah. great details in the shadows! Well done!

Exposure is indeed perfect as you can easily see the details in darkest parts and the scenery you can see through the tunnel makes this picture even better, well done.

Lovely shot Steve........

A difficult shot well executed Steve.
Thanks for sharing method of exposure.
